what and when?

[Dee1985]

what can a baby have and at what age?

with Dior my HV gave me a great list it had basic guidlines of what they can have from 4months then what they can have from 6months and so on.

can some one please help, Harleys fed up of rusks

tryed him with the powder baby food chicken sweetcorn he was heaving on it

so if any one can give me basic guidlines then il experiment. but im worried

can they have any veg from 4months?

how about like carrot and potato or summit

He can have purees of

Broccoli
cauliflower
sweet potato
butternut squash
carrots
turnip
peas

Apple
pear
bannana

Basically any fruit or veg execpt citrus fruit
Then from 6 months you could maybe add rice or pasta to his meals to bulk them out a bit

I found the best thing to do was make a batch of a few differant veggis and freeze them in ice cube when frozen popthem into bags, then when Jack was used to them i would mix them Broccoli+cauli etc..

Also try adding cinnomon(sp?) to the apple or pera, Jack loved it

I'd invest in a steamer if you haven't gor one as it keeps all the goodness and you can do loads at one (think mine was about £5 from tesco, and hand blender is good)

jo thank u that really helped.

iv heard so many people mention butternut squash but what is it iv never in my life heard of it.

It's a big veg that you cut in half, scoop out the seeds and bake in the oven. Really easy to prepare

Sweet potato is really easy too, just wash in and bake in the oven, then scoop out the flesh
